Hon;ble chief Minister,
Government of Manipur.

Sub: Means to save Manipur
Sir,
Most respectfully I, onbehalf of the Senior Citizens Welfare Association of Churachandpur, beg to state the following for favour of your kind consideration:-
(1) Since Manipur is also a full-fledged state of India having the powers enumerated in List II - State List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, we feel that it is not proper on the part of the people of Manipur to accuse the Government of India for the internal troubles of the state. As far as economic-blockades are concerned, the State government can deal with them firmly and tactfully under the Law of the country.
(2) We also believe that the genesis of the ongoing economic blockade is not declaration of 18 June as holiday, as is made to appear. The real problem is dismemberment of Manipur, with NSCN(IM) as the fountainhead of this cult. The only person Who can save Manipur from the designs of NSCN(IM) is the Prime Minister of India. therefore all sections of the people of Manipur including the insurgent groups have to remain faithful to the Government of India in order to win, the favour of the Prime Minister of India.
(3) It appears to us that as long as insurgent groups of Manipur are fighting against the Government of Manipur and against the Government of India for independence, the Government of India will net be happy and it will not be possible to win their favour. Lt.Col.H.Bhuban Singh has rightly said that the home made insurgent groups are busy in their own affairs while the kind of Manipur they want to liberate is on the brink of disappearing from the map, The time has come for all lovers of Manipur to stand united to win the favour of the Government of India which alone can protect the territorial integrity of Manipur.
(4) The Sangai Express dated 31-7-05 tells us that from August 1 to 3 all the students from Primary to the University level will hold sit-in-Protest demonstration in front of their respective schools from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. We fear that if the students begin to launch various forms of agitations with effect from 1st August, there will be greater disturbances. Any wrong move by them will prove fatal to Manipur.
(5) We beg to add that Mr, Haokholal Thangjom, Ex- Minister,Lt.Col,H.BhubanSingh(Retd)andCommandant R.S.Jassal (Retd) are men of mature Judgement and their considered opinion may kindly be invited by any Chief Minister at the time of making his decision in important matters relating to the security of Mauipur, The ongoing economic blockade is a very important issue and their opinions may be useful.
We therefore, fervently request you to take up all possible means firmly and tactfully (i) to end the ongoing economic blockade and (ii) to convince the people of Manipur including insurgent groups to remain loyal to the Government of India to win the favour of both the Governor of Manipur and the Prime Minister of India to save Manipur.
Yours faithfully,
